I caught the first series of Sugar Rush on Channel 4 when it was screened but missed the second series. I bought them both last week and what a great time I have had catching up and getting to know what happened in the second series. Basically Sugar Rush is a coming of age drama, Kim Daniels(wonderfully played by the deliciously cute Olivia Hallinan)starts out as a closet lesbian who is love with her best friend Maria "Sugar" Sweet,(again a great performance from Lenora Crichlow who plays Sugar as a selfish but reliable friend to Kim) as the first series goes on we see how the girls friendship grows and lasts through various challenges such as Kim coming out to her friend. The second series builds on the first and introduces the character of Saint(Sarah) as played by Sarah Jane Potts,played wonderfully.In Season 2 there are trials and tribulations before she and Kim get together in the final episode. The final scene with the three girls all together is moving and funny. Kim has all she ever wanted a girl to love and her best friend staying with her. A big call goes out to the supporting cast the wonderful cast with Sara Stewart playing the wonderfully immature Stella and Richard Lumsden as the pinny wearing father, Nathan. A final call goes to Kurtis O'Brian who plays Kim's young brother who goes from believing he is from another planet to being a transvestite in season 2.
Al in all a great piece of drama, well written, well performed and it makes one think about growing up, friendship love and the struggles therein. One major disappointment is that Channel 4 haven't vouched for a third season. Ah well maybe one day!!
